Walbot Source code
« on: June 08, 2007, 09:58:34 PM »
So if anyone is interested here is the source code I use for Walbot:
edit: The reason why Walbot works so well is that she has Chuck Norris on her side, nothing gets in her way.
Code: [Select]
/*This is a program by Brandon Sweeney to control the autonomous robot Walbot, it implements the
LV MAX EZ1 sonar rangefinder and outputs the voltage signal sent from the rangefinder and its
conversion in inches. This data is then used to control the actions of Walbot.
This material is free, just give me credit for using it*/


int Motor1A = 10;  // H-Bridge input 1             
int Motor1B = 11;  // H-Bridge input 2               
int enable = 3;     // H-Bridge motor 1 enable
int Motor2A = 9;  // H-Bridge input 3             
int Motor2B = 8;  // H-Bridge input 4               
int enable2 = 5;     // H-Bridge motor 2 enable
int ultraAn = 0;    // select the input pin for the ultrasonic sensor
int UltraEnable = 12;    // sets enable to pin 12
int ledPin = 13;    // sets the indicator led to pin 13
float val[10];       // array to store first 10 values coming from the sensor
float valSum=0;      // sum of first 10 readings
float valAvg=0;      // average of the first 10 readings
float dist = 0;      // variable to store the converted distance in inches

Hell, there are no rules here—we're
   trying to accomplish something.
